<p>Apple's next 10 inch tablet is called the iPad Air 2, and it's much thinner and more powerful than its predecessor.</p><p>It's just 6.1 mm thin - 18 percent slimmer than the iPad Air. Apple showed that two iPad Air 2s stacked on top of one another is still thinner than the original iPad.</p><p>Inside, it's got a new A8X chip - a beefy second-gen 64 bit processor. And there's also the M8 motion coprocessor which even has a barometer if you're an old times fisherman.</p><p>The camera has been bumped up, too, with a new 8MP iSight snapper capable of burst shots, timelapse, 120 frames per second slow-mo, and 43 megapixel panoramas. There are also duel microphones, and a better front-facing camera too.</p><p>It's got faster wi-fi, extended 4G, the same 10-hour battery life, and anti-reflective coating on the screen so it should be easier to play games outside in the sunlight.</p><p>It also features the nifty Touch ID sensor, which turns the home button into a fingerprint scanner to protect your iPad against thieves and nosey family members. You can also use it to buy apps without a password.</p><p>The iPad Air 2 will cost the usual iPad price - starting at $499 for a 16GB wi-fi and $629 for a 16GB 3G/4G device. Preorders start tomorrow, and they'll start to ship by the end of next week.</p>...
